provided rehabilitative design through construction administration services for
many of these restoration efforts, including: roof restoration for 30
Rockefeller Plaza, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, 70 Rockefeller Plaza, Radio City Music
Hall, Time-Life Building, and the Simon & Schuster Building; and façade
restoration for the Exxon Building, GE (RCA) Building, 30 Rockefeller Plaza,
International Building, Ten Rockefeller Plaza, Radio City Music Hall and the
Simon & Schuster Building.
